"To live with her and face my own death, or live an eternity without her. Which would be more painful?"

I do not know the answer to that question. I only know that the thought of living without you was too much to bear. Had you chosen me, perhaps the thought of leaving you would have been just as unbearable, but as it is, I cannot control myself.

So I choose madness. I choose death. I choose you, whether you will have me or not. I choose to love you, come what may. You, a little mascan. You, beautiful woman. You, my heart. The last shred of a humanity I can't remember having.

If it had been possible, I would have spent a thousand years with you, and a thousand after that, and an eternity after that. You could have been happy with me. I know from the way you look at me. I know from the jealousy in your pathetic Mage's eyes that it could have been me.

And for me, it was only ever you.

Asarella.

Rell.

My love.

So I choose madness because I would rather love you and die than live without you. I can only hope that in death I will find you again, take your hand, and lead us into another light.

Another eternity, then. For you, I will wait.

Always.
